POV Photoshoot | Wedding Photos in the Austrian Alps
Wedding photography in the Austrian Alps, skiing through the mountains all captured on a GoPro for the perfect POV!
This one's a little different as Becki & Will got hitched a couple of days prior which we also photographed so there wasn't much need for us to direct them on the day as they already knew what to do!
Also, when you're all wearing skis, there's only so much movement you can do but I'm so stoked how these images came out!
Anyway, hope you all enjoy. Catch you at the next one xo

Photographing Austria on FILM | Contax G1 and Pentax 67

A couple of weeks ago, Freya & I spent 6 days in Austria to photograph a wedding. This video is the adventures outside of the wedding. Exploring the Austrian landscapes, photographing them on 35mm & medium format. An insane country with some of the best scenery I've come across. A place I absolutely will be returning to one day. I hope you all enjoyed the video! Feel free to leave comments, lik...

My FIRST ever roll in a Contax G1
Переглядів 7 тис.7 місяців тому
This is my first ever trip out with my new Contax G1. I woke up EARLY and headed to the nearby seaside town of Beer in the South of England. Loaded up a roll of Kodak Gold 200 and starting photographing the coast as the sun rose. I recorded this video as a "if the camera works, it could be a nice video" so it's done off the cuff & filmed with my iPhone so apologies for that. Hope you all enjoy ...

    I'm 16 and I've just gotten into professional photography. My first 2 weddings have been great but I just can't get lighting right. At the start of the video you're in a dimly lit hotel room with no lighting equipment, how do you get your shots so bright and clean? I'm using an M50 mkii with a sigma f2.4 17-50mm and I have to bring my girlfriend with me to hold a light because I just don't pick up enough light in these settings.

    I bought my Pentax 6X7 system back in 1980's new. Still use it to this day. Have an extensive collection of lenses, view finders and accessories for the system. Here is some advice: First look to acquire the later Super Multi Coated SMC lenses. They offer superior contrast, anti-flaring and color rendition over the earlier generation lenses. In fact, the SMC lenses were better than the contemporary Zeiss medium optics of the day. Particularly for Black & White use. With very high contrast for B&W printing. You will want to swap out that older 55mm lens for the newer SMC model. The system has a 135mm Macro lens which is a must have for close-up work. And Extension tubes were made. Most of the system lenses are relatively Cheap to buy. And many are in excellent condition. Pentax also made shuttered lenses to overcome the 30th second fixed flash sync speed. Next, always use the proper lens hood for your lenses. NO top pro DP would be caught not using a compendium shade system on a motion picture camera. Neither should you. Overt flaring and poor contrast is for amateurs, clean flare-free and high contrast images are Pro-Domain. So start acting like a Pro and use the proper lens shades for your lens collection. Ebay makes it easy to acquire 6X7 gear. Get filters like Polarizers, ND, Infared and the like. Next, get a second body as a back-up or to have a B&W and Color film body for ready field use. Always carry spare batteries. By the way, you have a 1st generation meter prism that does not have an auto off feature. So it did NOT damage your camera. It simply drained your battery. Pentax sold a pocket battery holder to keep the battery warm in cold weather. These cameras were used for mountaineering photography. The 6X7 was advertised as the "Ideal Format". Because when printing 8X10 or 11X14, the format would fit without having to crop, hence ideal. I have a Photo Diox 35mm panoramic adapter kit which allows me to use 35mm film with my 55mm or 45mm lenses. A whole lot cheaper than a Hasselblad Pan X camera!!! They make these panoramic adapters as Pre-fab printing kits dirt cheap on Ebay with proper masks. Finally, you can purchase a wind-up shutter release device to give your camera a shutter delay for self portrait work. All the lenses in the system have Infared focus marks. So infared film can be used. Buy the Pentax Brochures and there are medium format books about the Pentax 67 system. Medium Format Cameras by Theodore DiSante is a good book to get. Take your time and enjoy growing with the 67 System.

    Hey Chris really enjoyed the video and I'm receiving my own 67 system with 105mm next week. Got a question how did you manage to shoot those beautiful flares with the 55mm 3.5? Many people say the 55mm f4 is generally a better lens (sharper and lighter) but with 9 elements in the lens I don't think it will produce the same lens flare. What do you reckon?

    @randallstewart1224 3 місяці тому

    Probably well-meant, but like many Pentax 67 "review" type videos, passes along misinformation. The metering prism fitting the 6x7 and 67 models came in two flavors. The original version has a mechanical power switch, which you have to trigger to turn the meter on, then trigger again to turn off. The meter draws power from the camera battery, so when the user forgot to turn off the meter when not using the camera, it would drain the battery and kill camera operation. Pentax got enough negative feedback from early users, that within a year or two, they changed the power switch to automatically turn the meter off after 30 seconds or so. This prevented accidental battery drain, but it can cause the meter to shut off before metering is finished. (The lesser of evils, I guess.) Failure of the meter switch as complained of here? I've used Pentax 6x7 for nearly 45 years, watch dozens of YT videos, and this is the first time I've ever heard of it, so it's not a regular issue. (I'll admit that while I have a metering prism on all three of my bodies, I rarely use them in deference to using my spot meter.)

      Actually, you are mixed up. The first generation 6X7 camera lacked a mirror-up control. The second series of 6X7 cameras had a mirror-up control switch. Pentax offered a modification service that installed a mirror lock-up switch to the first generation 6X7 cameras. The Die Stamps to create the cameras got worn, so new stamps were created with a Block Style typography that read as 67. But this was only a cosmetic change. Both cameras are mirror lock-up, all manual exposure models. When buying on the used market, look for the Block style 67 because they are a more recent vintage. Some claim that the older 6X7 are more robust because of having metal gears on the wind on lever. As opposed to the plastic gears of the 67 series. But in reality both generations are very robust. The final generation 67 have the advanced multi meter prism and an Auto Exposure mode too. These facts should clear all the confusion about the Pentax 6X7 camera generations.

I no longer shoot film but considering coming back to it and considering the Pentax 67 (it would be nice to go back to an SLR from a Rangefinder) or maybe a Paubel Makina 67 (much lighter). I don't need many lenses, probably just one lens would do.

    The shutter sound of a camera to me is what makes the most satisfaction in shooting it. The pentax 67 has one of the best sounding shutters IMO. Mine is giving me problems currently which is the real downside of this system, the wear and tear and the ever decreasing available techs who still work on them. Either way, beautiful work with yours, very motivating to get mine repaired and keep shooting with it.

    Nice review of this awesome camera! I really can feel the way you like this Pentax. One word about the broken light meter. It is not normal that you need to switch it off. My meter displays for about 5 seconds the reading and shut down by itself. Yours were probably broken already- a spring inside which returns the switch, something like that? And a remark about the cons - weight is absolutely normal for these size of cameras. My Hasselblads and Rolleis can do that, too. For me that’s no problem. The weight helps you holding your camera steady. One issue is missing - you need to stick to the film inside. No chance to change if you are out shooting film Exchangable film backs are really an advantage.
